Why get a DNA profile?
Many stud books require a DNA profiles to check the parentage of your horse or pony.
To check parentage we need profiles from all three of:
- sire
- dam
- offspring
If the sire and dam have had DNA profiles done at a different lab, you (or the person who ordered the test) can give that lab permission to share those profiles with us.
We are running limited numbers of parentage profiles in 2017 and 2018.
Don't know parentage?
One of the most common questions we get is whether its possible to identify the breeding of an unregistered horse from its DNA profile.
Unfortunately standard DNA profiles are not powerful enough for this kind of job.
